1969 Mercury Cougar Convertible 

Here's a creme puff of a car. A one owner Southern California totally rust free driver. This car has only had one owner. A little old lady named Beverly bought this car new. The car has been tuned up, checked for safety, road tested and is ready to go to a new owner to take it to the next level. This car won't need much. It drives straight and true down the road. It has been detailed and left alone. I even left her bumper stickers and custom license plate frame on the car. This car will need tires soon. They are cracked from the warm Southern California weather. It was optioned with the stout 351- 2 barrel engine. One of the neat features of this car are the functioning rear cougar specific rear blinkers, they have been checked and do function correctly. The headlight doors also function as they should. This is also an A/C car even though it is a convertible. The A/C has not been serviced but is holding pressure.  It does not blow cold. Once serviced it will be nice to have on those extra hot days. The rim blow wheel is not functioning at this time but is crack free as is the dash pad,  all in great shape. This car has been garaged its entire life. The carpet is faded a little. The driver seat has a 5 inch tear in the seam that has been glued down.  Besides that it is in excellent, supple shape. The top is also in great shape, no tears. The rear glass is also in tact. This car is 100% rust free.  This Cougar does look great and is a rust free specimen. It was driven with joy and pride (per the plate) and does have chips, nicks and bruises here and there. It can be enjoyed as is or taken up a notch. Its the new owners call. She is only untouched and original once.

This Cougar is being sold as is and no reserve. Bid to win and ask all questions.

Thanks and good luck!!

Question of the Day: Most degraded car name?

Fri, May 27 2016

When Ford came up with a not-so-sporty version of the Pinto and slapped Mustang badges on it in 1974, that was a low point for the Mustang name. When Chrysler applied the venerable Town & Country name on perfectly functional but unglamorous minivans, it saddened many of us. But perhaps the biggest demotion for a once-proud model came when, in 1988, General Motors imported a misery-enhancing Daewoo from Korea and called it the Pontiac LeMans. The original Pontiac LeMans was a great-looking midsize car with fairly advanced (for the time) suspension design and engine options including potent V8s and a screaming overhead-cam straight-six. The Daewoo-based Pontiac LeMans was a cramped, shoddy hooptie that served only to ruin the LeMans name forever, while stealing sales from the Suzuki-based Chevrolet Sprint. Sure, using the once-respected Monterey name on the Mercurized Ford Freestar was bad, but Mercury didn't have long to live at that point. I say the downward spiral of the LeMans name was the most agonizing in automotive history. What do you think? Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

NHTSA probing 2000-2003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable models over throttle issue

Mon, 29 Oct 2012

A potential issue with the speed control cable collar has got the 2003-20003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable under the spotlight of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If the collar breaks it can cause the throttle to be stuck open.
The issue is limited to vehicles with the 3.0-liter V6 Duratec. There are just 50 complaints so far out of 310,000 cars, but the NHTSA has begun an investigation into whether a recall should be issued.

eBay Find of the Day: Craterface's '49 Mercury convertible from Grease

Wed, 29 Jan 2014

Here is your chance to own your very own piece of greased lightning. Well, not the Greased Lighting, it's actually the black, flamed 1949 Mercury convertible that races against John Travolta in the classic 1978 movie Grease, and it's for auction on eBay Motors.
While it appeared in the film's exciting drag race in a Los Angeles storm drain, the hot rod was reportedly lost until last year, when the seller found it as a shell. He verified that it was the actual car with original builder, Eddie Paul, and sent the car for a complete restoration.
The auction includes original parts like the exhaust tips used in the movie and bent bumper from when it hit Travolta's car in the scene. The restorer recreated the scorpion stickers on the doors, razor hubcaps and license plate. He also installed a 1949 Mercury 255-cubic-inch (4.2-liter), flathead V8 and three-speed manual transmission with overdrive.
